Inherent Instability or Tipping of the Balance: Populism, Immigration and Liberal Democracies

This chapter investigates how the challenging questions and tensions caused by migrants and their universalist claims for inclusion, have been approached and resolved in liberal democracies. By regarding the development of populism as a real and dangerous political phenomenon that has a significant traction, the chapter asks whether populism adds something new to this approach and resolution.

Att leva med bakterier : Möjligheter till ett levbart immunitärt liv

Det uppskattas att år 2050 kommer tio miljoner människor att dö av infektionersom inte kan behandlas på grund av att bakterier blivit resistenta ochdärmed gjort antibiotika ineffektiv. Denna typ av dystopier är en form avresor både bakåt och framåt i tiden, och där samhället beskrivs som någotannat än vad vi är vana vid. Tanken om en framtid utan antibiotika – enså kallad postantibiotisk era – går

Deformed halo of 929F20

Using a simple model based on the knowledge of spherical and deformed Woods-Saxon potentials, it is shown that the recent observation of halo phenomena in 29F can be interpreted as evidence for the prolate deformation of the ground state of 29F. The prolate deformation is the result of the shell structure, which is unique in one-neutron resonant levels, in particular near degeneracy of the neutron

Time-resolved compositional mapping during in situ TEM studies

In situ studies using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can provide insights to how properties, structures and compositions of nanostructures are affected and evolving when exerted to heat or chemical exposure. While high-resolved imaging can be obtained continuously, at video-framerates of hundreds of frames per second (fps), compositional analysis struggles with time resolution due to the l

The cooling of a swede-part of an EUSO CSI challenge

This paper presents preparations, execution and reflection on results for the physics part of a CSI task for the European Union Science Olympiad 2010, taking place at the University of Gothenburg. The participants were required to make a graph of the cooling of a swede (Brassicanapus), as a proxy for the cooling of a murder victim, and to choose a mathematical expression for the cooling curve, as

QM/MM study of the binding of H2 to MoCu CO dehydrogenase : development and applications of improved H2 van der Waals parameters

The MoCu CO dehydrogenase enzyme not only transforms CO into CO2 but it can also oxidise H2. Even if its hydrogenase activity has been known for decades, a debate is ongoing on the most plausible mode for the binding of H2 to the enzyme active site and the hydrogen oxidation mechanism. In the present work, we provide a new perspective on the MoCu-CODH hydrogenase activity by improving the in silic

Specialist predation covaries with colour polymorphism in tawny owls

Abstract: Understanding intraspecific phenotypic variation in prey specialisation can help to predict how long-term changes in prey availability affect the viability of these phenotypes and their persistence. Generalists are favoured when the main food resources are unpredictable compared to specialists, which track the availability of the main prey and are more vulnerable to changes in the main f

Sad, shattered or slow? Fatigue after childhood cancer.

Systematic assessments of cognition, fatigue, and mental health in survivors ofchildhood cancer can serve two different purposes. One is to enable research about development over time and medical predictors of cognitive deficits. The other is to identify individual patients in need of rehabilitation or interventions. The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to contribute to the ongoing developm

Understanding the Political Psychology of Brexit

To understand Brexit we need to understand the political psychology of British politics and its relationship to the European Union (EU). Using data on public knowledge, groups, concerns, amnesia, and trust, this summary demonstrates the political consequences of the increasing distance between the electorate and the government in the United Kingdom over the question of Brexit; the British exit fro
